The 2011 season was was 8 years ago. The league has become more speed oriented and today’s rosters have a different flavor.

The 2010-11 was tough in more ways than one. I wouldn’t mind more team toughness from this year’s B’s, but I don’t think you will see a roster with the actual “fighting toughness” of that roster again.

That is fine that the game has changed. What is not fine is that the 2018 Bruins are very soft, by 2018 standards.

The Bruins need some tough players to be contenders Adam Mc Quaid Tough. Not Chris Wagner and Noel Acciari tough (very soft tough) can provide a solid check but can not back it up. If this teams wants to contend it is time to get some toughness in the line up

To use second in the league in fights as some benchmark in toughness when 80% were retaliatory fights by greatly overreaching Bruins is absurd.

We might as well drag Campbell out of retirement to have his snots pushed in by every tough guy in the league, that'll show em!

The point is ( again, which seems to go over your head ) is the league as a whole is trending away from fighting. If you think that's absurd, then ****ing do some research before crying about it. A team that you deem as soft and lacks toughness is second in the league in fighting. What does that say for the rest of the teams? Like it or not, toughness/fighting aren't as valued traits as they use to be.

WHY would any team be afraid to fight the present day Bruins? They are second in the league in fights because they are soft and easy picking.

NORDSTROM, MARCHAND, KURALY, KRUG these are NOT FIGHTERS.

These are guys getting pushed so hard or their mates so hard that they are answering bells far out of their class.
